Hoeven Reviews Fargo Airport Terminal Expansion Progress

FARGO, N.D. – Senator John Hoeven today toured and reviewed the construction progress of the Hector International Airport’s Terminal Expansion Project. Today’s visit comes as Hector International experienced its busiest month ever in March, with more than 56,000 boardings. Further, this was the 12th consecutive month of all-time high passenger activity at the airport, driving home the importance of building the expanded terminal.
Accordingly, Hoeven is working as a member of the Senate Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Committee to fulfill the federal cost share. The senator has secured nearly $40 million for the effort to date and continues working to provide another $31 million in federal funding. The project, which is expected to be completed in 2027, will include:
“The numbers make it clear – the Fargo-Moorhead region is growing fast and demand for air service continues to climb,” said Hoeven. “That’s why we are working to keep moving this needed terminal expansion at Hector International forward. The nearly $40 million in federal funding we’ve secured so far is an important part of this effort, along with support from state and local funding sources. These funds provide certainty to help keep the project on track, so this dynamic region can continue to rely on safe and efficient air service, which is vital to our economy and quality of life.”
